Reporter He Ruiyi/Interview report
Do orange cats really have a "fat-prone physique"? Owner Samantha Liu recently weighed her orange cat "Baby", and she didn't expect it to weigh 11.2 kilograms. What's amazing is that the baby's twin sister "Guaiguai" weighs just as much, almost 10 kilograms. The two cats nest together like two big, round and plump fur balls, making it difficult for people not to notice.

Samantha Liu said in an interview that the baby and the brother and sister Guaiguai are 9 years old and were born when the mother cat ran to the balcony of their home. Incredibly, among the 11 cats and 1 dog in the family, the two orange cat siblings are the fattest ones, but they actually don’t eat much. Samantha Liu believes that this is probably due to the “prone body constitution”. “Because there are many cats in the house, the others like to eat more than them, and they are not as fat.”

Although they are chubby, the 11.2kg baby and the 9kg Guaiguai are both in good health. Samantha Liu said that all the cats and dogs at home went to the animal hospital for health check-ups, and the results were all quite OK.
Samantha Liu posted a video of her cat weighing herself on the Internet. She saw her family put the chubby baby in an oversized plastic bag and put it on a home weighing machine. The number kept going up and finally stopped at 11.2 kilograms. The baby who originally had its head stuck out put its head back into the bag, as if a little shy. Netizens also left comments after reading it, "Oh my God, orange cats are always eye-opening", "You can participate in the pig competition at the Three Gorges Ancestral Temple", "Orange cats are not surprising XDDD", "Is this just a rice sausage with long legs or a cat?"; However, some people reminded, "Being too fat is unhealthy for cats. , The thin feet need to support the body; I used to think that raising a cat to be fat was very successful, but my veterinarian always thought about it. "

It is worth noting that being overweight is actually a burden on the hairy child and can easily lead to problems such as diabetes, arthritis, and pancreatitis. Studies have found that overweight fur babies live an average of 2 years less than those of normal weight. So, what exactly is called "overweight"? According to international standards, obesity exceeds 10%-15% of the normal weight range. A simple way to determine body posture is to "feel it with your hands." If the ribs cannot be felt, it means that the pet has too much fat. If you can feel it, it is the standard. However, be aware that if the ribs can be seen with your eyes, it is too thin.

Overeating and lack of exercise are factors in the occurrence of "obesity", but there are also many cats and dogs that have gained weight due to sterilization and endocrine changes. If you want to help your pet lose weight, you can feed them special feed for weight loss, increase their amount of exercise, and play and walk with them more often.
